A large area surrounding Hawker township and elongated along strike by ~25 km to both the north and south has been explored for buried sediment-hosted stratabound base metal mineralisation. During the first licence year, after a field reconnaissance had revealed some weak and patchy secondary copper mineralised showings in metasediments within the licence area, the licensee undertook preliminary soil geochemical sampling adjacent to bedrock outcrops (459 samples collected), including some where the rocks contained visible malachite mineralisation or where they had become altered over a 20 m wide zone to contain silica and limonite cements. No significant assay results were returned. No further work was done in the second licence year, before tenure was allowed to lapse. A planned ground magnetic survey did not eventuate.
